Featured Events

Thurs 12 December from 6PM: 'Meet the Artist' Art Show and Auction

Join us for an evening with the artists in your community.  This art opening is your opportunity to meet artists in the community who have donated their artworks for you to view and to bid on in a silent auction where 100% of proceeds support your local charity, LocalKind. This is our 2nd such event and last time, there was a fantastic vibe with some amazing art on display, and a great opportunity to meet the personalities behind the pieces you can bid on and take home.

We’ll also have drinks, nibbles, and music, and you get to see a wonderful Brookvale Arts District gallery: Sugar House Studios.

Sat 25 January from 7PM: Music Double-Header at 7th Day Brewery

Two young & talented Northern Beaches bands–Edgecliff and Bangalley–will be playing for charity in a FREE concert at 7th Day Brewery, Brookvale for an Australia Day long weekend extravaganza, where $1 per lager will be donated to LocalKind. Both bands have played at the Northern Beaches’ best venues and were recognised in band competitions. With classic rock and indie surf vibes, this double-header is sure to impress. You can also enjoy the brews from one of Brookvale’s anchor ‘Brewvale’ breweries. What better way to celebrate the long weekend!
